    • 1). Snip off five long-end rods from three brass fasteners. Every brass fastener is designed with two long-end rods.

    • 2). Bond the flat edges of each of the five long-end rods to a metal grommet ring with permanent epoxy. The five long-end rods should resemble the shape of a star. Your first space frame hub is now created. Repeat steps one and two to create as many hubs as you need.

    • 3). Place the hub onto a flat surface. Insert five plastic straws over top each respective rod on the first hub. Insert a rod -- from a second hub -- onto the free end of one of the straws. Repeat with four additional hubs and the four remaining straws. Continue the straw and rod insertion process to construct your overall design.
